[Spoilers] [Character] is back!!!!!

[Gurahk]

If he wasnt destined to the maw who is?

probably someone who CAN'T be redeemed, like Gul'dan

[Combatbutler]

He might have been crafted into a piece of Armor at this point.

[Tuor]

Why the fuck are people talking about a redemption ark? Redemption for what, he did nothing wrong.

Technicly he is guilty of accepting the help of the scourge, the same scourge he fighted against. When he did that, he felt into the realm of Ner'Zhull.

[IndCold]

turns out it got split in two. so the Uther we saw in HoR and in Legion was the Uther from the sword. then the other part of Uther is in Bastion.

Does this mean the frostmourne part of Uther is now with the light?

[arandomuser]

the legion set all of these events in motion

[Zandalarian Paladin]

I think Arthas is just there in the cinematic. Just like in the Sylvanas one. He's not going to play a (major) role in-game.

[Cæli]

arthas was thought to be responsible for all his crime including by uther, but he was just under the control of ner'zhul, which soul remained in existence

when arthas died, ner'zhul remained

with the helm of domination broken, ner'zhul escaped the shadowlands to the void

arthas will escape the maw in shadowlands and seek revenge against ner'zhul in the expansion after shadowlands

source: dude trust me

[Cosmic Janitor]

If he wasnt destined to the maw who is?

I think the maw could have originally been only used for people who are full of malice (the guldans of warcraft) and had the power to back it up, potentially causing trouble in the shadowlands. But someone that wielded the - now as maw rebranded - powers of death clearly belong in that category. So I think as well that arthas is one of the people that clearly belongs there in the first place.

[pewpmeiser]

not sure how you derived that arthas is back from the animation, but hes not

[Tuor]

arthas was thought to be responsible for all his crime including by uther, but he was just under the control of ner'zhul, which soul remained in existence

Correct, his soul was the first one frostmourne claimed. What was left was a soulness body, aka, Arthas the DK, under control and empowered by Ner'Zhul

when arthas died, ner'zhul remained

Wrong, Arthas eliminated Ner'Zhull soul after he merged with Ner'Zhull, the questlines that tell us that are in Icecrown, most likely now gone because the area has been updated.

with the helm of domination broken, ner'zhul escaped the shadowlands to the void

He most likely went there just after Arthas terminated him.

arthas will escape the maw in shadowlands and seek revenge against ner'zhul in the expansion after shadowlands

source: dude trust me

Arthas is no saint at all, and whille i love his story, i think its better to leave the dead... dead.

[Timester]

It's still dumb as fuck. If anyone deserved the Maw it was him. Uther's involvement wasn't even required. Justice would've been served by the Arbiter anyway. That's why this whole conflict is manufactured and forced as fuck. If WoW mentions "MUH VENGEANCE BAD" one more time I'm gonna lose my shit.

And yet, Uther wasn't complete and Devos used Uther to strike down an "Agent of the Maw".

[Sluvs]

Redemption for redemption's sake is a cheap arc. The only fitting fate for Arthas if he's involved in the story would be for him to remain damned and face eternal atonement as the new Jailer.

I kinda like this...

[Swnem]

It is hardly surprising. This is pretty much Wrath 2.

[The Emperor]

Can blizzard please stop ruining past characters just for the sake of money? Create new vulperas and shit all over them instead.

[shadowmatrix]

Which past characters have been ruined?

[deviantcultist]

The true king will return...

Yet another praise to one of the most overrated Warcraft characters. If anything, it was a feeling of closure for Uther instead of a warcry for Arthas fanboys.


He might be a miniboss for the Jailer raid.

[Clozer]

probably someone who CAN'T be redeemed, like Gul'dan

Any soul that is so powerful that it might break the foundation of the Shadowlands. From Ion last Blizzcon.

We still have no idea about the 9.1 and 9.2 raids. There is a lot of room for him.

[Inukashi]

I wonder what Arthas' Role would be?

King of Lordaeron? The Forsaken? I don't think a big character like this, would become a faction leader. This would put all other faction leaders to shame.
Maybe Highlord of the Death Knights and the new Lich King? While he comes with experience in this role, I wouldn't put Mr Menethil back in this position. We all remember what happend the last time.

Also what I wonder.. will we see Varian? Or did he already become a smurf?

[Mojo03]

I find it hard to believe Arthas belongs in the maw but not Kael'thas. They're very similar characters, and if Kael'thas is in revendreth, I imagine that's where arthas should be.

I wonder what the Uther of the sword would think about joining the other Uther. I mean he seems to have some sort of limited sentience.

I think his soul was intercepted by Uther and that blue person when he died and thrown into the Maw, rather than letting the arbiter decide his fate in the Shadowlands (which is what happens with everyone else).

That's what was interesting about it. They weren't supposed to do that.

[Jujudrood]

Well, someone's gotta be the Jailer once we kick the everloving crap outta the current one.
Cue: Arthas, who will vow to keep the Shadowlands in check when we leave.

What?
Sounds familiar?
Like, maybe the exact thing that happened with Illidan in Legion?
What?
Do you think Blizz wouldn't rehash a past event for fan service?
Do you really think they are above Arthas being Illidan 2.0?
